After opening up with five straight wins a year ago, the Fresno State Bulldogs faltered in Mountain West play and came up short of a championship appearance. Can the program compete with perennial challengers and emerging powers to make it to Las Vegas this fall? The Fresno State 2024 football schedule will determine success or failure in the upcoming campaign.

The Fresno State 2024 football schedule is bookended by difficult out-of-conference clashes on the road. The Bulldogs face the Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor to open the campaign and the UCLA Bruins in Westwood in the finale. Dates at home with the Sacramento State Hornets and New Mexico State Aggies round out their four-game out-of-conference slate.
The Mountain West enters into a 7+1 scheduling agreement with the remaining Pac-12 teams, with every team in the conference facing either the Oregon State Beavers or Washington State Cougars. With the chaos in Corvallis following the departure of the head coach and multiple players, the Beavers are a more attractive opponent, but Fresno State will face the Cougars.
That matchup kicks off a four-game home slate that features winnable games against the San Jose State Spartans, Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, and Colorado State Rams. If the Bulldogs are to contend for a Mountain West crown, those are almost “must-win” games on the Fresno State 2024 football schedule.

The away slate is less favorable with trips to the UNLV Rebels and Air Force Falcons. However, trips to the Nevada Wolf Pack and New Mexico Lobos present opportunities for wins, and there’s the bonus of avoiding the reigning Mountain West champions, the Boise State Broncos. The Fresno State 2024 football schedule ranks 111th in CFN’s Strength of Schedule.
